+* Whether thrown food will tame or merely pacify a [[domestic animal]]

		+	=== Eating ===
		+
		+	As far as eating is concerned, there appear to be following de-facto categories:
		+
		+	==== Treat ====
		+	* Raises apport
		+	* Tames domestic animals
		+	* Pets will catch and eat
		+	* Pets will eat from the ground
		+
		+	==== Tasty corpse ====
		+	* Tames domestic animals
		+	* Pets will catch and eat if starving
		+	* Pets will eat from the ground
		+
		+	==== Acceptable ====
		+	* Tames domestic animals
		+	* Pets will catch and eat if starving
		+	* Pets will eat from the ground if starving
		+
		+	==== Barely acceptable ====
		+	* Pets will catch and eat if starving
		+	* Pets will eat from the ground if starving
		+
		+	Comestibles not falling into one of these categories will never be eaten. The “barely acceptable” category corresponds to foods that are ordinarily considered human food, but are reclassified as acceptable food when starving. The only time a monster will eat acceptable food when not starving is if it is a non-tame domestic animal being tamed, so this is the only real difference between the two categories for eating purposes.

 If the pet is able to carry the item, and it is not cursed, there is a chance that it will pick up the item. The pet will immediately wield its best melee weapon and wear its best armor, if able, in case the new item is better.
 :There are two probability checks that must both succeed: <code>(rn2(20) < edog->apport+3)</code> and <code>(rn2(udist) || !rn2(edog->apport))</code>. This means the pet must first pass a ''d20'' apport check (with a +3 bonus), and then must be relatively far from the player, have relatively low apport, or else simply be lucky.
